EXHIBIT 99
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE	CONTACT:
Tuesday March 30, 2010	John A. Ustaszewski Chief Financial Officer (740) 657-7000

The Corporation announced today the results of analysis related to restatement of interim operating results on Form 10-Q. As reported in its Form 8-K filing from March 10, 2010, DCB Financial Corp will be restating its interim results on Form 10-Q prior to issuing its annual operating results on Form 10-K later this month. The results for the second and third quarter 2009 are being amended to reflect a change in The Delaware County Bank and Trust’s (“the Bank”), its wholly-owned sub, determination of fair value and recognition of other-than-temporary-impairment per guidance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (“FDIC”) and the Ohio Department of Financial Institutions (“ODFI”).

During the Bank’s 2009 Safety and Soundness regulatory exam, The Bank’s primary Federal and State regulators (FDIC and ODFI) questioned whether The Bank’s methodology used in the determination of fair value and impairment analysis of its CDO (collateralized-debt obligation) investment portfolio fully recognized possible future cash flow impairment. The regulators view was that defaults in payment on these investments are expected to accelerate above the levels in the previous model. Management agreed to change its assumptions and provide further analysis to the FDIC and the ODFI in support of the CDO impairment analysis.

The change in assumptions and further analysis to reflect the regulators’ view resulted in the Bank’s revising the prior determination of fair value and increasing the amounts of other-than-temporary impairment in the Bank’s Report of Income and Condition (“Call Report”) for the second and third quarters of 2009. To ensure consistency with the revised Call Reports, the Corporation has decided to amend the interim financial statements filed on Form-Q for the same periods reflecting the Bank’s change in assumptions and further analysis.

Subsequent to its March 10, 2010 Form 8-K filing, the Corporation completed its analysis of its $8.0 million CDO portfolio and determined the amounts necessary to amend its Call Reports. Based on that analysis the Call Report for second quarter operating results will be adjusted for a pre-tax loss of $780 thousand to recognize other-than-temporary impairment on the portfolio. The adjusted cost value of the portfolio at June 30, 2010 is $7.2 million, while the fair value is $2.8 million. The amendments to the Form 10-Q to reflect these changes resulted in a quarterly net loss of $721 thousand, and a per share loss of $0.19. This compares to a quarterly net loss of $209 thousand and a per share loss of $0.06 as previously reported. The amended year-to-date loss of $1.79 million and $0.48 per share compares to a $1.28 million and $0.34 per share loss as previously reported.

The third quarter Call Report results will be amended to reflect a pre-tax loss of $911 thousand to recognize additional other-than-temporary-impairment on the portfolio. The adjusted cost value of the portfolio at September 30, 2010 is $5.5 million, while the fair value is $1.7 million. The amendments to the 10-Q to reflect these changes resulted in a quarterly and year-to-date loss of $1.45 million and $3.24 million respectively, while loss per share was $0.39 for the quarter and $0.87 year-to-date. The Corporation had previously reported an $849 thousand or $0.23 per share quarterly loss, and a $2.13 million or $0.57 per share year-to-date loss.

The change in interim results is based on the Bank’s increased default estimates on the underlying collateral within the CDO pools. Previously, Bank’s assumptions were 75 basis points annual defaults and a 15% recovery rate with a two-year time lag and a prepayment rate of 1% with 100% at maturity. The restatements are based on issuer specific default estimation and then a blanket application of 2% annual defaults for two years and 75 basis points thereafter with 10% recoveries lagged two years.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
